How to Talk to Guys

Whether you’re in the coffee line at church, you’ve just downloaded the latest dating app, or you’re about to go on a first date—talking to guys is hard and totally daunting... unless you have a plan. 

How to Talk to Guys is a script of conversation-starting questions that will make all of your dating scenarios so much easier. 

    - Maybe you met your dream guy at church, and you’re looking for any excuse to talk with him. 

    - Or, maybe you finally bit the bullet and downloaded that dating app—you even connected with someone you may be interested in. 

    - Or, maybe your best friend set you up with her cousin and you just introduced yourself over text. 

    - Or, maybe you’re about to go on a first date with a guy you just met.

    No matter which situation you find yourself in, you’re starting something new with someone new. You’re excited and nervous as you introduce yourself—things seem to be going pretty well!

    But then you hit a wall.


    Dating is HARD.

    Let's be honest...

    The small talk is over, so what are you supposed to say next?

    Somehow (and you're not sure how!)...

    ... you're supposed to calm your nerves enough to carry on a conversation that will tell you all of the information you need to know...

    Is he a good fit for you? Do you have things in common? Is his faith as important to him as yours is to you? Is there a future for you together?

    Oh, and you're also trying to be funny, smart, and attractive—all at the same time (often, via text!).

    Check, please!

    If this is enough to make you want to throw in the towel, you are SO not alone!

    And that's what I have for you today!

    This is hard and totally daunting... unless you have a plan.



    In this pocket-sized dating guide, you'll find a script of conversation-starting questions that will make your dating life so much easier. (No more small talk and sweaty palms!)

    It'll help you feel more prepared and less nervous as you talk to a guy you like. It'll help you stand out from the crowd as you chat online, and it'll help the conversations flow on those first few dates.

      “I literally went on a date right after I finished reading this book. The guide definitely helped me feel more prepared just in case my mind went blank or I didn't know how to follow up with a question and keep the conversation going. The guide helped me feel so much more confident in myself!

      Let's just say we ended up talking for HOURS and before I knew it the bar was closing in 30 minutes and it was way past my regular weekday bedtime.

      P.S. I'm writing this the morning after and I literally just got a sweet text from him about how he had a great time last night :)”
